This looks as if since a mouse-leave event is not fired on the anchor link, the navigate to link does not get cleared. Looking at the HTML, the links have the form: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.example.com">Example</a> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a website like http://www.google.co.uk/reader/?tab=my 2. Click on the link to switch to another service (Gmail, Calender, ...) 3. Click on the tab opened from step (1) Actual Results: The current URL should be the only URL displayed -- "http://www.google.co.uk/reader/?tab=my". Expected Results: The navigate to link is shown in the address bar -- "http://www.google.co.uk/reader/?tab=my > http://www.google.com/calendar/render?tab=yc"
